If this is your first time wearing glasses it might take a few weeks for your symptoms to settle down so please wait until then because you do not have a very high astigmatism. Double vision could also be because of dryness in the eye if you are someone who is in front of screens for a long time . Do avoid that and use a lubricating eye drop at least 4 times a day.

you might want to check your glasses power again just to make sure that your prescription axis is correct
